"Because i wanted to cover some horrible red highlights..."

I`ve colored my hair dark brown all over, because i wanted to cover some horrible red highlights that at the end they turned out orange. Now i really want a change...i want my hair to be a dark violet, so i bought this dark brown violet pearl (color touch 3/68) from wella, which is a demi permanent color. and since i want to lift some levels i bought the 20 vol...i`m not sure if i`m right with this products...i want the violet to show but naturally..not to bright.

angieinswfl said: No. demis have their own developer most times. If not then you may want to rethink that brand because demi and permanent are apples and oranges. One is deposit only (demi) the other lifts natural and deposits.. Umm, NO. Never add water to color, slows and stops its processing. Use a zero or 10 volume only. Buy the correct do not try to make your own. they have different ones for a reason.

If you are using permanent dye, there will be a certain amount of peroxide needed to work with the hair dye. Developer come in concentrations and a 20% is enough for the hard colors like dyeing from a dark color to a light color if you don`t want to strip the hair.

Someone said: but what if you also want to lift the color slightly? to make it 2 or 3 shades lighter?
i've been wondering the same thing. i have medium brown hair i want to demi-dye auburn and I'm afraid if I leave in the developer that it comes with (10) it will turn darker! i don't want that, i'd rather it be on the lighter side.

Someone said: Demi colors will not lift your hair. Ever, doesn't matter what kind of developer you use. Only permanent color will lift hair and that's only if you have virgin hair.... If you hair color on your hair and you want it lighter, you need to go buy some lightener/bleach.

Someone said: I had rusk violet 2.2v /5.2v and to get it brown I had to have it professionally bleach wash lightened first so that it would lift the color out enough so that it would take color over it. Brown is a lighter shade than the Burgundy which is one shade before black. You can't go lighter unless you have it lifted out first. DO NOT try to do it yourself you can ruin your hair. It took my stylist 4 hours to get all switched over so that my hair didn't break off in the process. There is a reason they get paid what they do. Dark colors require special care when going backwards. I was blessed that I didn't find it out the hard way but I could have if I had tried it at home first.

Looking for a strawberry blonde color- in Paul mitchell?

My hair is on the red shade, I want it to stay on the strawberry shade, but it is more of a dirty brown light blonde than a reddish blonde, I would like more red in that it has now, but NOT a bright red, even a orange red, I have it done in the 7ro and the 8 G and it was too red for me, at the time, after a few washings it was the shade I liked but then it began to get too light again , I like the strawberry blonde, a reddish blonde , not the look of a light dirty blonde.. what shade can I use that will give me that touch of reddish blonde that will not go to light
